Welcome to the July/August 2024 issue of BRITAIN! Here’s what to expect from the new issue…
Welcome to our summer issue! Travel with us to sunny Cornwall, where the wild west coast swirls with legends of giants and mermaids. We also explore Ashdown Forest, the real-life ‘Hundred Aker Wood’ that was home to Winnie-the-Pooh and friends, and reveal how you can find the locations from the much-loved stories.
Sound the trumpet! This issue is also our Royal Special. As a new exhibition opens at the King’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace, we tell the stories behind some of the most famous royal photos ever taken and from taverns and playhouses to markets and slums, we discover what London was really like in the reign of Elizabeth I.
All this, plus your chance to win a stay in Oxford’s elegant new hotel!
Enjoy the issue!
